Quote:dog said:Pasteurization is recommended but some growers prefer to sterilize. My suggestion is that you forget the store bought compost and use straw & dung instead. Well aged horse crap works great!

Dude, I dont ever want to say someone is wrong, but my experience with fresh horse poo (dried and aged, just not bought), is that it stinks to high heaven!! Once its done, it doesnt smell bad at all. I use store bought composted cow poo mixed with yellow straw. I dont knwo WHY i use the straw, but I do.

yes use the hay, less prone in contaminants than store bought poo IMO. Potency is dependant on available nutrients which the straw will provide as well as the WBS or whatever you are using for spawn, or a least one major factor.
